The legendary pigs return with upgraded features, heavenly new mechanics and a 10,000x max win

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has launched 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, the long-awaited sequel to one of the studio’s most successful and recognisable releases.

The original became a standout for the studio, bringing its much-loved 3 Pigs IP into a mythological world of gods. This bigger, bolder sequel takes players back to Olympus, where Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are joined by a formidable new force: the DemiHog.

Set across six reels, four rows and 4,096 ways to win, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog builds on its predecessor with upgraded collect mechanics, evolving progression systems, enhanced Free Spins and Bonus Pot potential that can take players all the way to the Wheel of Olympus, where rewards can reach up to 10,000x total bet.

The climb to Olympus is shaped by the game’s progressive Collect Level system. As Collect symbols gather Prize Coins, players ascend through five levels of play, unlocking new mechanics as the game builds towards its most powerful features. Collect symbols first award all visible Prize Coin values, before gaining additional cash prize values, multipliers and eventually the chance to trigger Hog & Win, a respin feature where every new symbol resets the counter and all collected values are awarded at the end.

At the final Collect Level, any uncollected Prize Coins are swept into the Bonus Pot above the reels, raising the stakes for the Wheel of Olympus. The wheel can award one of 12 prizes, from Mini rewards through to the Olympus x2 prize worth 10,000x total bet.

The sequel also brings more divine intervention to Free Spins, with each of the three pigs channelling a different godly power. Poseidon awards additional Free Spins, Zeus starts the feature with a multiplier to wins and Prize Coin values, while Hades activates synced reels that can unlock massive Prize Coin symbols up to 4×4.

It’s during Free Spins that the DemiHog enters the battlefield; upgrading the active pig powers as the bonus unfolds. Depending on which enhancements are in play, it can add extra Free Spins, increase multipliers, expand synchronised reels and enhance the Bonus Pot potential, keeping players on their trotters right until the very end.

Viacheslav Pecheryni Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “The first 3 Pigs of Olympus was a major success for Gaming Corps, so bringing the pigs back to Olympus had to feel more ambitious.

“Rise of the DemiHog does that by taking a player favourite and adding greater scale, deeper progression and a stronger sense of theatre, while keeping the humour and personality that gave the original its porcine charm. We did not want to simply trot the pigs back out; we wanted to give them a proper mythological comeback, and we think players are going to have a lot of fun with it.”
